About Margaret
Margaret Kei is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She writes plainly and listens carefully so people feel heard. Her style is warm and supportive and she encourages parents and young adults who are juggling big changes to reach out.
She uses practical methods that focus on what people want to change. Sessions often include talking through current problems, building coping strategies, and practicing new ways of thinking.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced ones. Margaret also uses client-centered techniques that let the person set the pace and priorities. Sessions concentrate on the client’s goals and what matters most to them.
Solution-focused work narrows in on small, useful steps that can bring quick relief. Her background includes eleven years of clinical experience in Virginia as an LCSW. She has worked with people facing mood difficulties, panic and social anxiety, attachment and adoption-related concerns, and impulses that cause regret or shame.
That experience informs a practical approach to everyday struggles. Therapy can cover relationship and family problems from the viewpoint of an individual seeking change. She supports people dealing with isolation, self-esteem issues, ADHD-related challenges, and recovery after abuse or other trauma.
The goal is steady progress and clearer next steps.
Therapies That Fit Your Life Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering a space where the therapist follows the client’s priorities and supports self-direction. This approach suits people who need empathy and steady guidance while they sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors to ease symptoms. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and problems like social anxiety because it breaks things into small, doable steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Margaret will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they will try strategies, adjust what isn’t working, and build on what does.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different preferences. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy steady while managing work, school, or family demands.
